How to change the container size?

the css id for your site might be different, as this will depend on your used theme;
try to work with a web tool such as Firebug https://getfirebug.com/ to identify the involved css selctors.

to get any help through this forum, please post a link to your site.

Thanks!
Here is a link to the site:

notice how the text goes beyond the container. I think making the container larger will help. There is room for a larger container.

How do I use Firebug to change the container size?

Thank you!!

Firebug is an analytic tool only, to help you to identify the involved css elements – changes need to be done in the style.css of your theme.

you will need a basic to good knowledge of html and css.

change the width of a few styles in style.css of your theme;
the sections below show the increased width (increased by 150px):

#wrap {
	background: #FFFFFF;
	width: 930px;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;

#header {
	width: 830px;
	height:120px;

.splash { width:910px; padding:30px 30px 0; }
#content {
	width: 910px;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;

#contentleft {
	float: left;
	width: 650px;

#footer {
	width: 930px;
	background: #eee;

.footer {
	width: 890px;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;

I DID IT!!!
I got firebug and used the pointer thing that tells you whats what,
then I just messed around with the width for each part that I found with firebug until it looked right.
AWESOME
thank you so much!

Hi Guys – I’m having trouble getting Firebug to locate any code. I’ve loaded the web page and clicked on the ‘pointer thing’, but I’m nothing is happening. Any advice?

Thanks in advance
